Actors and musicians may make a lot of money, but often their paychecks don't come close to those of professional athletes. These sports stars have to make sure they have the right home to throw their huge parties at and nothing says affluence better than indoor basketball courts and pools with shark tanks within. Here's some of our favorite flashy homes owned by the biggest celebrity athletes, and while some have changed hands, they're still worth taking a look at — who knows, one of them may even be on the market.

Gary NevilleFormer Captain of Manchester United

Where: Bolton, UK Size: 8,000 square feet Cost: Bought property for $12 million Why It's Cool: Granted, this science fiction-inspired home hasn't actually been built yet due to various complications but we're hoping Neville's strange eco-home dream comes true because it looks amazing. The planned five-bedroom house is mostly underground, with the visible portions resembling a flower, and would be mainly roofed with grass. The idea was to minimize damage to the Pennines moorland as much as possible by submerging the home. Neville also wants his house to use as little energy as possible and with the help of Make Architects. They're planning on integrating a ground source heat pump, a wind turbine to bring renewable energy, and solar panels.
